Trap lord
A$ap Ferg ... et al.

"When Trap Lord flashes-- Ferg's speed-it-up-slow-it-down verse on "Work" is pure thrill-- it's brilliant. But despite its status as his commercial debut, it's easiest to approach it as a low-stakes introduction to Ferg, an artist who, like Rocky and other newcomers like Travi$ Scott, has the ability to push the boundaries of the genre toward more experimental sounds and ideas. Though Trap Lord's vision is refracted through split personalities-- for better or for worse-- A$AP Ferg still sounds like a star in the making".

"There are many characters in hip-hop right now who are getting people excited and allowing people to feel a renewed buzz and love for the genre. Ferg may not have produced an album as flawless as Kendrick Lamar's Good Kid Madd City, or even Rocky's Long Live A$AP, but he has a very different and distinct flow and style which will allow him to fill a niche that's been empty for far too long. Trap Lord won't be for everyone, but it's worth more than one listen, because beneath the trap beats and somewhat cliché storyline is a debut album that's exciting, different, and worth a spot on the shelf".

"De kalder det trap, og sammen med Chicago-subgenren drill hiphop har det givet rap sit socialrealistiske skær tilbage. Det handler om trange kår og overlevelse, men inden for hiphoppens pistolsvingende, egopumpede rammer. Hos A$ AP Ferg slipper man ud af ghettofælden ved at skyde sig fri med en Magnum 44 på 'Murder Something', give den som Mr.Loverman på 'Shabba' og være sig lokalkvarterets tragiske bagside bevidst med fortællingen om mødre på crack, 'Cocaine Castle'".
